4 Reasons to Treat Your Gum Disease Symptoms With LANAP

April 8, 2019

Bleeding
gums, swollen gum tissue and gum recession are all common symptoms of
periodontal disease. If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it’s wise to schedule
a consultation with your periodontist at your earliest convenience. Dr. Andrés
Sánchez
takes a high-tech approach to periodontal disease treatment and uses the LANAP® protocol to achieve the best
outcome possible. Here are four reasons to treat your gum disease symptoms with laser technology such as that used with
the LANAP® protocol.

Quick
Recovery Time

Laser
technology is surprisingly gentle on oral tissues and carries minimal risks of
complications. It also causes less inflammation than traditional gum surgery
and yields a quicker recovery time. Whether you work, go to school or take care
of kids all day, you’ll have minimal down time after LANAP®. In fact, most people can get back to their normal
responsibilities on the same day as their treatment.

Minimal
Discomfort

If you’re
not a fan of traditional oral surgery procedures, you’ll be relieved to know
laser treatments are much less invasive. They also cause minimal discomfort
when compared to standard gum disease
treatments. The laser utilized in the LANAP®
protocol is extremely accurate, which means you won’t need to worry about
healthy gum tissue accidentally being removed along with the diseased tissue.

Reduced
Risk of Tooth Loss

Untreated gum disease frequently leads to bone
and tooth loss, which can be devastating for the health and appearance of your
smile. Studies show a link between LANAP®
and tooth preservation, so it’s a great treatment choice if you’re concerned
about tooth and bone loss.

Improved
Oral Health

As you treat
your diseased gum tissue with leading laser treatments, you’ll experience a
healthier, more beautiful smile. Laser surgery removes the bacteria that cause gum disease symptoms. As you remove the
bacteria, you’ll also reduce your risk of other oral infections.
